As I've said before, I am a mom of four. My two oldest are boys and have flown the coup but my other two are teenage girls. Should I say that again? Girls have so much more stuff. Stuff everywhere. Stuff that multiplies and creates more stuff and even more stuff. Stop me now. There is no clear space on top of a drawer or desk in my daughters' rooms. (Hint, hint girls ...) So much jewelry and of course they cannot find any of it because it is all tangled up!!

Here are some solutions I came up with. For one daughter I created the old stand-by cork board jewelry organizer.I painted the wooden frame a white color and then used some glue to attach the blue fabric onto the cork board. Then I added a black ribbon along the edges and tacked it on using thumb tacks. That's it. The final touch was the push pins that I hung the jewelry on. Now everything can be seen easily with no mess!! I attached the jewelry holder to the side of a chest of drawers for easy access.

We also added some cylindrical pieces to hold the bracelets. More on those in my next post !!Now they have just as much stuff as before, but at least they can find it !! And if they find, it they can wear it!!
